Regar...This response is several years too late....<br /><br />Regarding the Miconazole, I think the Youtubers who used it as a 'growth aid' did not understand that they were treating a yeast overgrowth of the scalp condition that was preventing their hair from growing. I read their posts regarding their symptoms prior to taking miconazole and it is similar to those suffering from yeast-related inflammatory issues.<br /><br />Miconazole nitrate was used to help reduce scalp inflammation due to seborrheic dermatitis (SD) but now antifungals such as Ketoconazole, steroids, and other drugs are used for this purpose. <br /><br />I like your blog!!!<br />-CEPJ80Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-57578397018604522532010-09-13T21:03:01.435+01:002010-09-13T21:03:01.435+01:00great bloggreat blogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-27743006292511163002009-07-16T12:06:29.544+01:002009-07-16T12:06:29.544+01:00Hi LovintheBlessin,
I do like to see contrasting...Hi LovintheBlessin, <br /><br />I do like to see contrasting opinions, so your comment is very welcome. I only report what is scientifically proven. I don't think that this means that your observations are invalid but it does mean that I need to see conclusive firm evidence (hair growth/thickness measurements in numbers as well as untreated vs treated hair) otherwise what you report remains anecdotal. <br /><br />Your theory on megatek getting into the follicle is not one I can support. There is no evidence that I could find to show that hydrolyzed protein behaves in this way. Furthermore, the way cells make proteins is quite unique. Each cell contains DNA initially and DNA is basically a protein code. The actual protein is formed by the cell lining up the amino acids in the order dictated by the DNA. This is sort of like linking up a chain with individual links. It would seem highly unusual to me if the cell chose to pick up a small piece of protein (containing random amino acids) instead. I'm not saying it is not possible but I do think it is improbable. I really would have to see good evidence to believe this. <br /><br />If you asked me for my take on your observations, I would say<br /><br />1. I do certainly think that if you are using a protein treatment regularly and especially if you are not washing it out,it is likely that your hair could feel and look thicker due to the protein depositing on your hair. This may explain the thicker strands. <br /><br />2. Due to the protein depositing in the weak spots, I think the hair could possibly resist breakage. This may therefore make it appear that your hair grows faster meaning if you experience less breakage, then the overall length of your hair increases and it looks longer).<br /><br />In all my time of researching this topic there is no good evidence to suggest that any substance can accelerate hair growth whether applied topically or taken internally. I will definitely report back should there be evidence presented to me that this is possible.Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-38634583341949444222009-07-16T04:38:49.081+01:002009-07-16T04:38:49.081+01:00I have to disagree with this post.

However, I always wore braids wit extensions because i felt my hair was too thin for my mega-large cranium. When I decided that I wanted to wear my hair itself, i spent a lot of time looking for things to grow my hair thicker. I landed on Megatek, and as someone who knows my hair well, i know that it has increased the growth rate as well as thickened my hair which was what i wanted it for originally.<br /><br />I am not a scientist, but I have done a lot of research and I have a theory of how it works. Let me know if there could be validity in what I'm saying.<br />I know that when people grow, the bone does not stretch, but cartilage does and then hardens into bone. You mentioned the process of hair growing from the scalp one as keratinization? saying that the hair hardens as it grows out. I think that because Megatek is a protein rich scalp treatment, it gets into the follicle with the new hair that has yet to harden, and somehow bonds to it thus creating more hair and thus faster growth.<br /><br />I have no proof of this, it was just my deduction from all the reading I've done. but could you perhaps give this theory some consideration, because i sometimes use Megatek all over my hair as a protein treatment, and it works well, but I definitely have noticed that the two inches or so close to my scalp (the portion that has grown since I've been using the product) are MUCh thicker than the rest of my hair so I think that they have grown differently, rather than just ben conditioned well.LovintheBlessinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11365510816556370718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-6921212156984751592009-07-01T03:02:54.933+01:002009-07-01T03:02:54.933+01:00i agree jc. nothing can grow hair. if a nutrition...i agree jc. nothing can grow hair. if a nutritional deficiency is in play then addressing that may help. that's why supplements can be helpful, cuz most of our diets suck! i firmly believe in a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. not only will it help your hair but everything else!Jenteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128925223395919344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-91250030886315756932009-06-30T05:00:29.838+01:002009-06-30T05:00:29.838+01:00Thank you so much for this post!

It's funny because I'm a member of a popular hair forum and I've yet to see any evidence of results that show more than normal growth from any "aid". But people will swear up and down that they've achieved some kind of extra growth. And then they show pictures and I have to wonder if they're delusional. I don't believe in growth aids at all but obviously they're seeing something I'm not.<br /><br />I think some people want long hair so badly that they are willing to do anything for it. It's a bit scary at times.Summer2010ComputerClasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827406025124545050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-1606956790546745162009-06-30T04:57:20.868+01:002009-06-30T04:57:20.868+01:00If I take anything internally it's to help all...If I take anything internally it's to help alleviate skin issues. :-)*right now cod liver fish oil*<br />What I do fixate my attentions on*besides skin* are methods in which to retain hair. I don't really think its breaking off bad *tiny curls anymore* but I do work for the day that not one single strand of hair will come out of my hair but maybe once in a while. Its possible. I say this because when I was permed I swear I shed maybe one strand a week, it sounds crazy but whatever my beautician at the time used overseas just worked. *ironically in the UK* ^_^<br /><br />So I'm all about using something to strengthen my hair. I think hair does fine with growing we just loose so much sometimes we just look like we are at a standstill. On an added note, I heard grape seed oil was supposed to be good with strengthening the hair? *I assume you when you mean it treats hair loss that it possibly does* LOLDa Jadedpoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586009091115491398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-88163681281743216792009-06-29T19:31:14.451+01:002009-06-29T19:31:14.451+01:00@nonfictions - Megatek is just a hair conditioner ...@nonfictions - Megatek is just a hair conditioner so I can't see how that would accelerate hair growth.
